As if the LSU Tigers haven’t had enough trouble in the passing game, this week’s matchup will make matters worse for their quarterback situation.

Junior Jordan Jefferson has barely completed half of his passes (51.7 percent completion percentage) while throwing six interceptions and fellow junior Jarrett Lee, who lost the job to Jefferson, has thrown 18 career picks.

Granted, the Jefferson-Lee duo led the Tiger offense to a 434-yard performance in last week’s 16-14 win against Tennessee, but the Bayou Bengals face a completely different animal in “The Swamp” this Saturday.

The Florida Gators defense has been the team’s strength so far in 2010, limiting opponents to just 291 yards of total offense and 17.6 points per game.

However, the stat that should concern LSU the most about the Gator defense is their 12 interceptions this season, the highest total in the FBS so far this season.

Jefferson and Lee will share time at quarterback this weekend and in one of the nation’s toughest environments at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, they will have keep their composure and lead the Tiger offense on efficient scoring drives, things that they both failed to do in their home victory against the Volunteers.

If the Tigers can manage to have at least some success passing the ball, it will keep Ahmad Black and the Florida defense honest and allow them to rely on the SEC’s leading rusher in running back Stevan Ridley.

However, if LSU falls behind early and are forced into a pass-first game as a result, it will be a long day for the Mad Hatter and the No. 12 Tigers in Gainesville.
